00:00Marry me !
00:02That was the plan.
00:04It's been the plan for 11 months.
00:11My wedding was in six hours.
00:13My groom was on a plane.
00:15Not to me.
00:16To her.
00:18His childhood best friend had a fever.
00:20So he told me to postpone.
00:22I told him no.
00:24And that was the moment my life split in half.
00:27Ava, don't be dramatic.
00:29Sienna's temperature hit 103.
00:32She's alone on a job site four states away.
00:34What was I supposed to do?
00:37Marry me !
00:39That was the plan.
00:41It's been the plan for 11 months.
00:44I could hear a woman coughing softly in the background of his call.
00:48She didn't sound like she was dying.
00:50She sounded like she was smiling.
00:52You're being petty.
00:54You know what Sienna's been through.
00:55Yes, I knew.
00:58I knew because I'd been paying for it for four years.
01:00On my 27th birthday,
01:02Sienna got bumped at a charity gala and bruised her elbow.
01:06Ryan left my birthday dinner before the entries came
01:09and drove 90 minutes to hold an ice pack against her arm.
01:12On our anniversary, someone at a party called Sienna Social Climber.
01:16She cried.
01:17Ryan left our hotel suite at 11pm and came back at 7 in the morning smelling like her perfume.
01:24And last night, the night before our wedding, Sienna texted him a photo of a thermometer.
01:29He kissed my forehead, told me to sleep well, and got on a red eye.
01:38Ryan, one question.
01:40Can you be at the Vale Chapel by noon?
01:42Ava, I'm three hours from the nearest airport.
01:44It's physically impossible.
01:45Yes or no?
01:46Just push it to tomorrow, one day.
01:48Everybody will understand.
01:50Push it.
01:53My mother is currently steaming 200 napkins.
01:56My grandfather flew in from Scotland with oxygen.
01:58400 guests are already driving to tank.
02:00Half the state's press listery because you're family to the chapel.
02:03I heard him move away from her.
02:04I heard a door close and I remember thinking,
02:06that's the first considerate thing he's done all day and he did it for her privacy.
02:10So call him.
02:10And say what, Ryan?
02:11Say the wedding is postponed.
02:12Say the bride got cold feet.
02:14Something inside my chest went very quiet.
02:16The way a house goes quiet after a fire finally burns out.
02:25Let me be extremely clear.
02:27If you are not standing at that altar at 12 o'clock, we are finished.
02:30Not postponed.
02:32Finished!
02:34There it is.
02:35The jealousy.
02:36Ava, I know you're emotional today.
02:37Brides get emotional.
02:38But this ultimatum thing, it's not cute.
02:41If you don't want to lose me, postpone the wedding.
02:43That's the deal.
02:45That's the deal.
02:46Good girl.
02:47I'll call you tonight.
02:52Four years.
02:54I'd watched their little performance for four years and I'd told myself I was being generous.
02:58Secure.
02:59Mature.
03:00I wasn't mature.
03:01I was an idiot with a save the date magnet on her fridge.
03:05I picked up the closest photo.
03:07Ryan's arm around my waist.
03:09My face turned up at him like he was weather I was grateful for and I dropped it.
03:16Glass everywhere.
03:21Ava?
03:22Ava?
03:23Ava, what have you-
03:27That absolute bastard!
03:32Let me smash the rest!
03:33I didn't move.
03:34I was already scrolling my contacts.
03:37Past Ryan, past Mom, past every friend who'd tell me to cry.
03:40And I stopped on a name I had blocked, unblocked, and blocked again for seven years.
03:44The man who had made my head blocked on life a war zone since I was 22.
03:48My enemy.
03:52Before it could ring, my mother came through the door with the steamed napkins.
03:58She looked at the broken glass, she looked at my sister, she looked at me.
04:01And my mother, who has never in her life raised her voice above a polite hum, said,
04:06Where is he?
04:07On a plane.
04:07To Siena.
04:09Today?
04:10He left today?
04:13He left last night.
04:14He just informed me today.
04:16What happened?
04:19What happened?
04:20My father was 63, and he'd spent the entire week practicing his walk down the aisle
04:24because he was afraid he might stumble.
04:27Then we canceled the wedding.
04:30It's fine.
04:32It's embarrassing, but it's fine.
04:33Better no wedding than a bad marriage.
04:35Your father will explain it to Grandpa.
04:37And I'll call the-
04:39No.
04:41Ava.
04:42Sweetheart.
04:43I'm not canceling.
04:44Honey!
04:45There's no groom!
04:47Who said,
04:49there's no groom?
04:54We are not old money.
04:55My grandfather laid brick for 30 years.
04:58My father built a construction supplied of a garage.
05:02My mother taught fourth grade until she was 50.
05:05When Ryan Cole's mother met them, she asked which caterer they'd worked for.
05:08The Cole's have a name in three history books and $11 in the bank.
05:12That's it.
05:13The title's been gone for generations.
05:15All that's left is the last name and the sneer.
05:19And they had spent 11 months making my family feel like they were being permitted into something.
05:25My mother had learned which fork.
05:27My father had bought a suit he hated.
05:34My sister had memorized the names of Ryan's godparents.
05:38400 people were driving to that chapel right now.
05:42Half of them Ryan's guests.
05:45All of them ready to watch us be humiliated in high definition.
05:48Did you hear?
05:49Today's wedding might not even happen.
05:51What happened?
05:51What's going on?
05:54I heard the groom is still out of town with another woman.
05:57What?
06:01Then the bride must be so humiliated today.
06:04I looked at my mother.
06:06Always soft-spoken.
06:08Always strong as steel.
06:10Now sobbing because of my marriage.
06:14I could lose the man.
06:15Fine.
06:16I'd lose the man.
06:17I was not losing my family's dignity.
06:20To a man who couldn't really be bothered to cancel his own wedding.
06:23Ava, who are you calling?
06:28Are you insane?
06:30It's probably.
06:31That's Ava.
06:33That's Damien Blackwood.
06:35That man tried to bury your Harbour Row case for eight months.
06:39He humiliated you on live television.
06:41You told me, and I'm quoting, that you'd rather chew glass than be in an elevator with him.
06:46I did say that.
06:47So why?
06:48Because he's the only person on this earth who might actually say yes.
06:57I hit call before I could think about it for one more second.
07:01Damien Blackwood.
07:04Seven years ago, I walked into Cardiff Law on a full scholarship from a public high school,
07:08wearing a blazer from a discount rack.
07:12And he was already there.
07:14Blackwood Holdings only air.
07:16Six foot three.
07:17Jaw like a courtroom sketch.
07:20The kind of man who made professors nervous.
07:24We split every prize that year.
07:26Every single one.
07:28First in contracts, me.
07:29First in torts, him.
07:32Moog Court Finals, we were on opposite tables.
07:35And he took my argument apart so cleanly that the judge apologized to me afterward.
07:42He also ruined every date I ever tried to have.
07:48I once spent a whole summer program flirting with a gorgeous transfer student.
07:55The day he finally offered to carry my bag.
07:58Winners, did you break your arm or is this a performance?
08:01Damien appeared out of thin air and said,
08:03Aren't you leaving?
08:04Hey!
08:12The transfer student never spoke to me again.
08:14Then came the real world.
08:16And we ended up on opposite sides of the same fight.
08:20I represent the tenants of Harbor Road.
08:23Blackwood Holdings owns the block.
08:28Three years of hearings.
08:30Three years of him leaning back in his chair with that infuriating half smile while I dismantled his numbers.
08:36Three years of headlines calling us fire and ice.
08:40Everyone in this city assumed we hated each other.
08:43I did too.
08:49The phone rang once.
08:52Twice.
08:57Three times.
09:02Hang up, my brain said.
09:03Hang up right now. This is the most humiliating thing you will ever-
09:07Ava?
09:08It went through.
09:11He'd never said my first name like that.
09:14Never Ava.
09:15I-I-It was me.
09:20Silence on his end.
09:22I heard something.
09:23A chair scraping.
09:25A door.
09:28You're getting married in three hours.
09:31I know what time it is.
09:36Then why are you on the phone with me?
09:38Two weeks ago, we'd been in the same conference room and he'd found out about the wedding date.
09:42He'd looked at my ring for one full second, then said in that dry way of his.
09:47Shane, wouldn't it be more efficient if you married me instead?
09:49Then we'd stop being enemies and start being the most dangerous couple in the state.
09:52Stop dreaming. There's no chance for us.
09:55Everyone laughed. It was a joke. It was obviously a joke.
10:04Damien?
10:06I'm short a groom for today's wedding.
10:08The ceremony's at noon. Vail Chapel.
10:10400 guests. Half of them pressed.
10:13My grandfather is 86.
10:15And he flew nine hours.
10:17The man I was supposed to marry is currently on a plane to another woman.
10:23And I am not walking into that chapel alone.
10:26Still nothing.
10:28The silence stretched so long, I heard my own heartbeat in my ears.
10:33So I'm asking you,
10:34Mr. Blackwood, would you like to attend my wedding and sign the license?
10:39One second.
10:40Two.
10:42He's going to laugh, I thought.
10:44He's going to laugh and I will have to live inside that sound for the rest of my life.
10:48Ava.
10:52Is this a joke?
10:53Forget it. Forget I called. It was insane. I'm not myself. Just...
10:57Yes.
11:00What?
11:01I said yes.
11:03I'll do it.
11:04I'll do it.
11:09You understand what I'm asking?
11:10This isn't a favor where you show up and clap.
11:12This is a marriage license.
11:13This is a legal document with your name on it.
11:15I'm aware.
11:16I read documents for a living.
11:18There's no prenup?
11:19There's no time for a prenup.
11:22I don't want one.
11:24Daniel!
11:25One condition.
11:25Of course.
11:26Of course there was a condition.
11:28My stomach dropped.
11:29Because I knew exactly how this man negotiated.
11:32Name it.
11:34Not on the phone.
11:35Say yes first.
11:37Absolutely not.
11:38I'm a lawyer.
11:39Then you already know I could ask for anything and you'd still be short a groom in 180 minutes.
11:47I hated him.
11:48God I hated him.
11:53Name it.
11:56Black will men don't do fake.
11:58So understand me Ava.
11:59If I walk into that chapel I'm not a prop.
12:02I'm not a paste holder you think in a press release and quietly annul in six weeks.
12:08Then what are you?
12:10Your husband.
12:12A real one.
12:13In every sense of that word.
12:15Someone who sleeps in your bed and eats at your table and is written on every form you fill out
12:20for the rest of your life.
12:26You're serious.
12:28I have never been more serious about anything.
12:30Somewhere outside.
12:32A car horn blared.
12:34My mother was staring at me with her hand over her mouth.
12:36My sister had both hands over hers.
12:39I thought about Ryan saying good girl before he hung up.
12:42I thought about my grandfather's oxygen tank.
12:45I thought.
12:46For one dangerous half second.
12:48About the way Damien Blackwood had looked at my engagement ring two weeks ago.
12:51And I said.
12:55Deal.
13:01Say it again.
13:02In about time.
13:04Slowly.
13:05Because in about 90 seconds.
13:07I'm gonna start making calls I can't unmake.
13:10And I need to know you understand what you just agreed to.
13:12I understood.
13:14That was the terrifying part.
13:16I'm saying yes.
13:17Real marriage.
13:18Your name.
13:19My name.
13:20One license.
13:21No exit clause.
13:23And in exchange, you show up at Vail Chapel at 1150 and you don't let a single person see me
13:27bleed.
13:28Not one.
13:29Anything else?
13:37We'll need a house.
13:38The Coles guests will want to see where the couple's living and I can't take 400 people to this house.
13:43Handled.
13:45Damien, it's three hours.
13:47Ava.
13:47I need you to hear this once and then I'll never say it again today.
13:51You will not be disappointed.
13:53Not by the chapel.
13:54Not by the house.
13:55Not by me.
13:57Go get in your dress.
14:00Ava Maria Winters.
14:02Was that Damien Blackwood?
14:03Yes.
14:04The one you call your nemesis?
14:06Yes.
14:07The one whose face you throw darts at?
14:10That was one time when I was drunk.
14:13Absolutely not.
14:15Ava, listen to me.
14:16That family owns half this city.
14:18Men like that don't do favors, they do transactions.
14:21What if he uses this?
14:23What if he humiliates you?
14:25What if he takes the house?
14:26The firm?
14:27He won't.
14:28What?
14:29Have you seen him?
14:30He's 6'3", he's got that jaw, he runs a company the size of a small country and he argues
14:35with Ava for fun.
14:35Meanwhile, Ryan Cole thinks having a dead great grandfather with a title makes him nobilitate the nemesis.
14:40I take the nemesis twice.
14:42Delilah!
14:45I'm just saying, the math is very simple.
14:48Here's the truth I didn't say out loud.
14:50Damien Blackwood and I were using each other.
14:52He wanted something.
14:53Leverage.
14:54A headline.
14:55A merger with my family's name.
14:56God knew what.
14:57I wanted a wedding that happened.
14:58Fine.
14:59I've been negotiating my whole career.
15:01I could negotiate a marriage.
15:04I put her on speaker so my mother could hear every word because I am petty and I have never
15:07pretended otherwise.
15:08Ava, I hear you're being difficult.
15:11I'm being married.
15:12You're being hysterical.
15:14Now listen, if you refuse to postpone and you stand at that altar with no groom, you understand it's your
15:20family who'll be laughed at, not us.
15:22Ryan has a legitimate reason to be absent, everyone will understand.
15:26Will they?
15:27And I'll say this once more, no member of the Cole family will be attending today.
15:32Not me, not his father, not one cousin.
15:35So do the sensible thing and send everyone home.
15:38The wedding will not be delayed.
15:41Ava, stop this tantrum.
15:44Do you know what family you're marrying into?
15:46We have lineage.
15:48Every woman who has married a Cole has been gracious and obedient and grateful.
15:53If you want to become one of us, you'd best start showing some respect, right?
15:59Curl the ends and use the red lipstick.
16:01Not the pink one, the red.
16:09Tradition in my family says the bride leaves her father's house with her people around her, and the groom's procession
16:14comes up to meet her at the door.
16:16There was no groom's procession.
16:18I knew that.
16:19I'd made peace with it.
16:21I'd walk out of this house alone, get in the car alone, and hold it together until 11.50.
16:27I'd play this part perfectly.
16:33Ava!
16:33What?
16:34What?
16:34What?
16:34The groom's here!
16:47Do not call me that yet.
16:49Noted.
16:50I'll call you that in 90 minutes.
16:54Oh, Damien.
16:55You didn't exaggerate at all.
16:58Mr. Blackwood.
16:59Mrs. Blackwood.
17:00I...
17:00I...
17:00Constance.
17:02And you must let me look at you.
17:04Damien told me his bride was beautiful, and I assumed he was being a man about it.
17:09But goodness, no wonder he chased her for so long.
17:12Wouldn't you say, Nathaniel?
17:13For so long?
17:14Chased.
17:15For so long.
17:17Two words that did not belong in the story I thought I knew.
17:23For so...
17:24Mother.
17:25We're late.
17:26We are not late.
17:27We're eight minutes ahead.
17:29We're late.
17:32Off you go then, both of you.
17:34What did she mean, chased?
17:37My mother's dramatic.
17:39Your mother is the calmest person I have ever met in my life.
17:42Ava, you have one job in the next four seconds.
17:48Look like a woman who's marrying the man she wants.
17:51In my family, the groom carries the bride from her father's house to the car.
17:56I had wanted that moment since I was four.
18:01The lift!
18:02He has to carry her!
18:04It's tradition!
18:08You don't have to...
18:10Blackwood, if you drop me...
18:12Ava, I've been carrying you a lot longer than this.
18:20Every person in that chapel expected Ryan.
18:23My father walked me in like he was escorting a queen, and I loved him enough to nearly break...
18:28Wait, that's not the cold boy.
18:30That's not, oh my god.
18:31Is that Damien Blackwood?
18:33She switched grooms?
18:34She switched grooms in one morning?
18:36Look at the cuff clinks.
18:37Those are Blackwood family.
18:39That's the crest.
18:41This is the best wedding I have ever been to.
18:45Good afternoon.
18:47For those who don't know me, my name is Damien Blackwood.
18:50I'm Ava Winter's husband.
18:54I want to thank you for coming today to witness two people finally arrive somewhere.
18:58It took them a very long time to reach.
19:02Seven years, in fact.
19:03We met at 22.
19:06We spent most of that time on opposite sides of room, arguing.
19:11Because it turns out that when you can't have someone, arguing is the only way to keep them talking to
19:17you.
19:19Some of you will have heard another name attached to today.
19:22I'll say this kindly and once.
19:25The wrong one has to leave before you understand how rare the right one is.
19:33So, under this roof, with all of you as witnesses, Ava Winters is going to become my wife.
19:42Seven years of his mouth in my ear, and I had mistaken a weapon for simple sharpness.
19:47For the first time, it wasn't aimed at me.
19:51It was aimed with me.
19:57The rings.
20:03Is that... Delilah, is that the Blackwood Solitary?
20:05That ring hasn't their family in 140 years.
20:11He put the heirloom on a woman he married this morning?
20:15The ring slid onto my finger perfectly.
20:18I had never told him my size.
20:22By the power vested in me, you may kiss the bride.
20:27Turn your head. Use the angle nobody will know.
20:30When he pulled back, neither of us was breathing steadily, and for several seconds, I forgot the Kohl's existed.
20:38Sorry.
20:41So, when do we get to see the newlyweds' house?
20:49We'd love everyone's welcome, and follow the cars.
20:56Are you insane? There is no house!
20:58There's a four bedroom in Brixton Row, with broken glass on the floor, and a shrine to my ex-fiancee
21:03on the wall!
21:04There's a house.
21:06Damien!
21:07Ava, get in the car.
21:1140 minutes later, Damien drove me through iron gates toward a house of stone, and house of stone, glass, and
21:1830-foot windows over the water.
21:22The staffed about 20 minutes ago.
21:28Then I saw the staircase wall.
21:30My October wedding ports were there, except Damien had replaced Ryan in every frame.
21:37I survived the reception, 400 congratulations, and questions I could not answer.
21:43At 11, the final car left.
21:50The house. Three hours. How?
21:53Money.
21:55Fine. Rich people, what about the photographs?
21:58What if I told you that Ryan sent them to me?
22:03What?
22:04Hmm.
22:07Why on God's earth would Ryan Cole send you my wedding photos?
22:12Guess.
22:14Damien!
22:15Guess.
22:17I want to sleep alone.
22:21Separate rooms.
22:23Just for now.
22:25This has been the longest day of my life, and I need my brain back.
22:29Three days.
22:31Three days?
22:32Three days, and then I come to my bed.
22:36Don't burn the bridge the second you've crossed it, Counselor.
22:39Have some conscience.
22:42He gave me three days without arguing.
22:45I laughed in relief right before he took a pillow pillow and then lay down on the couch in the
22:50same room.
22:57What are you doing?
22:59Sleeping.
23:00I said I wanted to sleep alone.
23:03You are alone.
23:04That's the whole bed.
23:06Every inch of it.
23:06Congratulations.
23:09I meant you sleep in a guest room.
23:11No chance.
23:12You care about how things look, Ava.
23:14So do I.
23:16My parents backed a wedding.
23:17They found out about it seven o'clock this morning, and they did it with asking me one question.
23:22Because they trust me.
23:25If the housekeeper reports tomorrow that the groom slept in the East Wing on his wedding night,
23:32what exactly do I tell my mother?
23:36Ava, baby.
23:38I'm boarding.
23:38Land at 640.
23:39Come get me at arrivals, okay?
23:41I brought you something.
23:42I know I messed up.
23:44Let's not drag this out.
23:46Ryan, I got married today.
23:48Sweetheart.
23:49Neither I nor a single member of my family was there.
23:52What wedding could you possibly have had?
23:56I could have taken the phone back.
23:58I didn't.
24:00Somewhere between the pooties and the kiss,
24:03I had already decided I was never going backward.
24:07She had a wedding at Vail Chapel.
24:08400 guests, 1215.
24:10Quite a lot of press.
24:11It went beautifully.
24:12Sorry you missed it.
24:14Blackwood.
24:16Once is enough.
24:17I'm not your supervisor.
24:20Damien Blackwood?
24:21Why do you have Ava's phone?
24:22Where is she?
24:23Put her on the...
24:24You're going to want to stop Top talking about my wife in that tone.
24:28Your wife?
24:30You...
24:30She...
24:31How long has this been going on?
24:33You've been...
24:33You've been sniffing around her for seven years.
24:36You sick...
24:40Careful.
24:41Ava, I know you can hear me.
24:42You think he wants you?
24:44He's wanted you since Carvif.
24:46You were just too stupid at...
24:47Ryan.
24:49Before you say the next thing, remember what's in your emboss.
24:53Ryan.
24:53What you sent me in October.
24:55Remember that I keep everything.
24:57Enjoy your flight.
25:00Seven years.
25:02He's upset.
25:03People say things.
25:05Damien.
25:11Go to sleep, Ava.
25:12You're not going to explain the photographs.
25:14Or the ring size.
25:15Or your mother saying you chased me.
25:18Or any of the eleven other things that happened today.
25:23Not tonight.
25:25Why not?
25:27He refused to turn his truth into one more thing I had to survive.
25:31That night.
25:35I stayed awake expecting sleep not to come.
25:38Because you've had one man wreck your life this morning and I'm not going to hand you a second thing
25:42to survive.
25:44Before you've slept.
25:46I woke to sunlight, butter and new clothes in my actual size.
25:51Ryan had bought me a size six for four years.
25:54I had never been a six.
25:59Morning.
25:59Eat first, then we'll go.
26:02Go where?
26:04Your parents' house.
26:05It's the day after the wedding.
26:08I know.
26:09In your family, the bride goes home to her mother.
26:12Your grandma did it.
26:14Your mother did it.
26:14Your aunt did it in the rain.
26:21How do you know that?
26:22I know things about you, Ava.
26:25That is not answer.
26:28Eat.
26:29You made this.
26:30Yes.
26:33You cook.
26:35I cook well.
26:37If you like it, I'll do it every day.
26:39I take care of what's mine.
26:41That's not going to change.
26:43So you may as well get used to it now.
26:47I reached for the dishes because Rye had trained me to mistakes being useful for being loved.
26:55Not those hands.
26:56That's my job, Mrs. Blackwood.
26:58Don't.
27:01Standing there with empty hands, I felt something inside me quietly fracture.
27:08What are you thinking about?
27:11Nothing.
27:15Ava.
27:16The Kohl's are here.
27:18All of them.
27:18They're at our front door and Margaret is screaming.
27:22No shame.
27:23Do you understand what your daughter has done?
27:28Running around behind son's back with another man.
27:32And you people stand there like the one when with no shame is your son.
27:38Mr. Blackwood.
27:40Mr. Kohl.
27:42Don't you dare be civil with him!
27:44You cheating little slut.
27:46My father had raised his voice maybe four times in my life.
27:50Margaret found the fifth.
27:55Enough.
27:57This is my house.
27:58You will not use that word under my roof.
28:00Your family was in the wrong first.
28:02Can I speak?
28:03In the wrong.
28:06On a wedding day.
28:08Unless you are dead.
28:10You crawl to that altar.
28:12Crawl.
28:13Your son got on a plane to sit with another woman and told my daughter to send 400 guests home.
28:19And you stand in my living room and tell me we're in the wrong.
28:23Sienna was ill.
28:24Get out.
28:25Now see here.
28:26Get out of my house.
28:30We'll see.
28:34Wait.
28:38For your son, take it home.
28:40Look at it somewhere private, ideally.
28:43I have a great deal more where that came from.
28:46Years worth, actually.
28:48Since October.
28:49So please, publish whatever you like.
28:51I genuinely enjoy watching which family ends up looking like a fool.
28:55She opened one corner.
28:56Her face collapsed.
28:58She left without another word.
29:00And the rest of the coals followed.
29:02I thought they were just snobs.
29:04I thought Ryan was so polite.
29:06So soft-spoken.
29:08I thought, well, Ava won't be living with them.
29:10Oh, thank God.
29:12Thank God she'd marry into that.
29:14What?
29:15I barely heard her.
29:17Damien had just silenced a family that lived on reputation.
29:20And I needed to know what he had used.
29:25What was in the envelope?
29:27Ask me tomorrow.
29:28Damien, what was in the envelope?
29:31Proof that Ryan Cole has been sleeping with CNN's Hearts March.
29:37March.
29:37I didn't cry.
29:38I sat with cold tea and did a cryptic.
29:41March.
29:42The anniversary.
29:43My birthday.
29:44Every site visit.
29:45Every time he called me jealous for noticing.
29:49Since October.
29:50You've known since October.
29:52I've known since October that he sent me your engagement photos as personal at 1am with the subject line thought
29:58you'd enjoy these.
30:01The rest I confirmed in January.
30:04And you didn't tell me?
30:06I did tell you.
30:08Twice.
30:09Once in November at the Harbor Row mediation when I asked if you were sure.
30:15Once in February at the Bar Association dinner when I said, and I quote,
30:20He isn't who you think he is.
30:23I remembered both warnings.
30:24I had called Damien a snake in front of 11 people.
30:28Because believing my enemy felt more dangerous than believing my fiancee.
30:35I called you a snake.
30:38You did.
30:40In front of nine people.
30:43Eleven. There were caterers. It's fine, Ava.
30:46It's not fine.
30:47You had no reason to believe me.
30:50I was the man who ruined your dates in law school and gutted your filing for three years.
30:54Why would you take my word over your fiancats?
30:59Damien, why did you say yes yesterday?
31:02Ask me tomorrow.
31:05You keep saying that.
31:07And I keep meaning it.
31:10That afternoon, Damien wove over my family with an audience to impress.
31:18I understand you play.
31:20This came out of a house sale in Vienna.
31:22Nineteenth century.
31:23I'd rather it sat with someone who'd use it than in a case in my father's study.
31:27Boy, this is worth more than my car.
31:31Sir, the most valuable thing your family owns married into mine yesterday.
31:38If you'll have me as a grandson-in-law, take the chess set.
31:44We were at court again at the same time. So was Ava, actually.
31:47Ava, girl. This one's good.
31:50You two live well together.
31:52On the drive home, I understood what mattered.
31:56He had done all of it when there was no one left to perform.
32:00Four.
32:04Ava, Ava. Harbour Road. The preservation for Oclaws? The one we've been fighting for 11 months?
32:11Blackwood Holdings came back with a counteroffer. A real one.
32:1560% of the units protected, plus a relocation fund.
32:21That's not possible.
32:22That's what I said. They've refused to move an inch since last spring.
32:27Their whole board wanted to fight it into next decade.
32:29But apparently, Damien Blackwood personally walked it through.
32:32You know what I heard? He got married this weekend.
32:35Some mystery wife nobody's ever heard of.
32:38Whoever she is, God bless her.
32:41Whatever she's doing to that man, our clients owe her a fruit basket.
32:46Priya blessed Damien's mystery wife without realizing she was standing in front of her.
32:57I'm his wife. Move, please.
33:00Ava.
33:02Harbour Road. 60% relocation fund. Explain.
33:07You've been fighting for that for a year.
33:09I've been fighting you for a year.
33:11You've stone-walled me through two mediators and a state hearing.
33:16Six weeks ago, you told a report of my proposal was, quote,
33:20a lovely piece of acrylactic performed on an imaginary budget.
33:24It was.
33:26So why?
33:27It's not a surrender. It's an offer that lets both sides negotiate honestly.
33:33You'll notice I still cut your road-cacation number by a third.
33:37You'd have cut it by all of it in April.
33:39In April, you were another man's fiancée.
33:46And now?
33:48And now you're my wife.
33:49Why would I spend my days destroying wife's life's work?
33:53I have plenty of enemies, Ava.
33:56I don't need to sleep next to one.
33:59You're not sleeping next to me. You're on the couch.
34:02Not for much longer.
34:06Damien.
34:07Get your bag. I'm taking my wife to dinner.
34:10I wanted to stay angry.
34:13Instead, he took me to dinner and argued munisrols with me for 90 minutes.
34:17I had never had a better evening.
34:23Get inside.
34:26Is that...
34:27Ava, inside.
34:31Ava.
34:32Ava, I need to talk to you.
34:34Alone.
34:35He can't be here for this.
34:37A stranger can stand on my driveway at 11 and at night, but my husband can't?
34:43Don't call him that.
34:45Husband.
34:46Say it with me. It's four syllables.
34:50You were seeing him behind my back.
34:52The whole time!
34:55Everyone knows he's had feelings for you since Cardig.
34:58And you kept acting like nothing was wrong!
35:01Ryan.
35:05This is the last conversation we're ever going to have.
35:07Let's not waste it on a performance.
35:10I know about March.
35:12What?
35:14March.
35:15The site trip.
35:16The separate rooms?
35:19Sienna, correct me if I have the date wrong.
35:24You told her?
35:25You promised me!
35:27You promised me she'd never find out!
35:29That's the one thing I asked you for.
35:31You stupid!
35:33That was the whole thing.
35:36He had made me feel monstrous for wanting my own fiancé.
35:40And now he was punishing the woman he chose for failing to protect his lie.
35:45I stopped hating Sienna.
35:47She wasn't the villain of my story.
35:49She was the next woman in line to find out.
35:55Sienna, there's a car service number on the gate post. Use it. Don't let him drive you anywhere tonight.
36:03Go home. Go anywhere. I'm done.
36:09Congratulations, Blackwood.
36:11Seven years and you finally got her. Bet that feels good.
36:14Bet you'd have paid anything for that phone call.
36:18What phone call?
36:19Wait.
36:21Wait.
36:22Seven years?
36:25Oh my God. He hasn't told you.
36:28Ask him about the wallet, Ava.
36:30Go on. Ask him what fell out of it in the entry and graduation.
36:33Get off my properties.
36:35Ask him why a Blackwood went to Carded instead of...
36:38Now.
36:44Inside.
36:46No.
36:47Ava.
36:48You said ask me tomorrow. It's tomorrow. It's been tomorrow four times.
36:52What fell out of your wallet?
37:00The picture had lived in his wallet long enough to soft at the corners.
37:04Ryan found it at graduation and stood exactly what what I was to Damien he ever to dated me.
37:09Carded. Second week of first year. Interfacility debate.
37:13You argued that legacy admissions were a laundering system for inherited vantage.
37:18And you looked directly at the section where all the legacy students were sitting when you said it.
37:23I was in that section.
37:26I took the picture on my phone and printed it that night.
37:30Which is possibly the most pathetic thing I've ever done.
37:33And I've closed a hundred million dollar deal on four hours sleep.
37:37At graduation I dropped my wallet in the atrium.
37:40Cole picked it up.
37:41He looked inside before he handed it back.
37:43I watched him do it.
37:45He never said a word.
37:46Six months later he was dating you.
37:51October.
37:52He emails me your engagement photos.
37:551am.
37:56Subjects line thought you'd enjoy these.
37:58He'd been doing it for years in different ways.
38:03He liked me knowing.
38:05Why? Why would he-
38:07Because a man like Ryan Cole doesn't want a woman Ava.
38:10He wants to have won one.
38:12You were the trophy I couldn't have.
38:16That was most of your appeal.
38:18Ryan hadn't wanted me.
38:20He had wanted to win me from the one man he knew couldn't have me.
38:28Seven years.
38:30Seven years of you ruining Evdate I ever ever had.
38:33Yes.
38:34Of you tearing my filings a cart line by line.
38:38Also yes.
38:39Those were separate.
38:40Those were work.
38:41Mostly.
38:43You made a witness cry in the Harbor Road hearing.
38:46He was lying under oath and you were about to lose.
38:50I was what?
38:51You were about to lose.
38:52And I broke him so you wouldn't.
38:59The answer was no longer whether he loved me.
39:02It was why a man who could argue anything had never argued for himself.
39:09Why didn't you say something?
39:12Seven years, one sentence.
39:14You are the most Tercullid human being I've ever met and you couldn't manage one sentence?
39:21And say what?
39:22Say what, Ava?
39:24Hello, I know you think I'm the reason your scholarship review took three months.
39:27I know you called me a snake in front of the caterers.
39:31But I've been in love with you?
39:33Since the second week law school?
39:37You were happy, or you thought you were.
39:42Every time I got close enough to tell you the truth about him,
39:45you looked at me like I was something you'd scrape off a shoe.
39:51So I did the only thing I could do.
39:54Which was?
39:55Stay across the table from you, because at least there, you had to keep talking to me.
40:06The ring size.
40:08You mentioned it in a deposition break in 2022.
40:12Complaining about a costume ring turn your finger green.
40:15The photographs on the stairs.
40:17I paid a very good retator, a truly obscene amount of money in about nine hours.
40:23The clothes, the house, the breakfast.
40:26Ava, you called me at 9.04 in the morning on your wedding day.
40:33And asked me to be your groom.
40:36Do you have any idea what that was like?
40:39Tell me.
40:40Like waiting seven years for the moon.
40:44And then having it fall into my hands.
40:47It didn't matter that it was fake.
40:51I'd have taken it in any condition you offered it.
40:54Damien Blackwood was blushing.
40:56The most controlled man I knew had run out of places to hide.
41:05Don't.
41:06Don't what?
41:07Don't laugh. I have very little dignity left and I'm using all of it.
41:11You're blushing.
41:13I'm going to sleep on the couch.
41:15You are absolutely not. Come inside.
41:19Three weeks later, a piece of cornest clipped my head during a Harbor Row sight walk.
41:23I remember the ambulance.
41:24I remember thinking Damien had a board vote and should not be called.
41:28They called him anyway.
41:33He crossed the city in 11 minutes.
41:36When I opened my eyes, he looked composed.
41:38Except his hands were shaking so badly he'd hidden them in his pockets.
41:43They kept me four days.
41:45Damien never went home.
41:46He learned every nurse's name.
41:49Brought my pillow.
41:51Read me the paper.
41:53And cut my food when my depth decision failed.
42:02Don't tell him I'm here. He'll say I'm meddling. I am meddling.
42:09Ava, there's something I've wanted to tell you since the wedding.
42:12And I've decided I'm too old to wait for permission.
42:16Do you know why my son went to Cardedic?
42:19He was meant to go to Ashport.
42:22Black who's gone to Ashport for 160 years.
42:25His father had already made the call.
42:29And that summer, Damien came into my study and said he'd applied to a public law school.
42:34Cardiff.
42:35Two years old at the time.
42:37No name, no network, nothing.
42:39He told me he wanted a real education.
42:41He told his father that.
42:43He told me something else.
42:45It's months later.
42:47After two glass of wine at Christmas.
42:51What?
42:52He said he'd gone to an inter-school debate that spring.
42:55Watched Earl.
42:56A, in a cheap blazer.
42:58Take apart a room full of people who had every advantage she didn't have.
43:06He said she never once looked away.
43:08He said, and I remember this exactly.
43:11Because I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever heard from a 17 year old boy.
43:18He said, the light was on her mother and it went straight through me.
43:23He picked a school for you at 17.
43:27Before he'd said a single word to you.
43:30Constance, there's more and then I'll stop.
43:33The night before your wedding.
43:37The first one.
43:39He called me at 11 at night.
43:41And my son does not call at 11 at night.
43:46When I got there, he was drinking in the dark with his laptop open.
43:49And the screen was full of a girl's wedding photographs.
43:53He wouldn't tell me her name.
43:57Ava, my son has not cried since he was five years old.
44:01Not when he broke his arm.
44:03Not at his grandfather's funeral.
44:06That night he sat on the floor of his own study and cried.
44:09And told me the girl he loved was marrying an else in the morning.
44:16And then at seven next morning, he called me and said,
44:19Ah, mother, I'm getting married today.
44:23Be at the chapel at noon.
44:25Don't ask questions.
44:28I thought he'd lost his mind.
44:30I said, married to whom?
44:31And he said, he said, the one I love.
44:34And I have never in my life heard my child sound so happy.
44:44Mother.
44:47Oh good, you're back.
44:48What are you telling my wife?
44:50The truth.
44:51Love ought to be said out loud, Damien.
44:53You're 31.
44:54Mother.
45:01Whatever she said, she exaggerates.
45:0317.
45:04You picked a law school at 17.
45:06Over one debate.
45:08Two debates.
45:09Damien.
45:11I told you, ask me tomorrow.
45:16Keep me in sight.
45:18Meanwhile, our mothers formed an alliance,
45:20danger enough to include Tuesday tea and a trip to Lisbon.
45:27Are you deliberately spoiling me until I'm useless?
45:31Ava, you ordered takeout six nights a week before I got here.
45:34There was nothing in your refrigerator but wine and a lime.
45:38That's true.
45:39So no, I'm not making you useless.
45:42I'm making you ruined.
45:44There's a difference.
45:45After a year of my cooking and my attention, you could have every dollar in this country and you would
45:51never find another.
45:51person who takes care of you like this.
45:54That's diabolical.
45:56That's the plan.
45:58I intend to make you completely incapable of imagining a life without me.
46:07And if you change your mind one day, where does that leave me?
46:12Seven years.
46:13Seven years of wanting something I was certain I would never get.
46:17Do you honestly think that now I finally have you in my hands?
46:21There is any version of me that lets go?
46:25Don't even think about it, Mrs. Blackwood.
46:27You're not getting out of this.
46:30I looked at the man I had called my enemy.
46:33The man who can, when I called at 9.04 on the worst morning of my life and asked only
46:39that our marriage be real.
46:48Damien.
46:51That day, when I called you, you said it was like the moon falling into your hands, even fake.
46:59It was.
47:01It's not fake anymore.
47:02I love you.
47:04Thank you for loving me for seven years when I gave you nothing back but litigation.
47:10Say it again.
47:13I love you.
47:14Ava, if you say that, you don't get to take it back.
47:18I'm a contracts lawyer. I don't do recession.
47:21It does not protect a single tenant currently living on that block.
47:26Ms. Winters, with equal respect, your alternative runs a 31% funding shortfall.
47:32Would you like me to negotiate with the concept of money?
47:47Or shall we use the real kind?
47:51Wait.
47:52Aren't they married?
47:53Yeah.
47:54Last month, it was in the paper.
47:56Huge thing at Vale Chapel.
47:58Then why are they fighting?
48:00Honestly, I think this is how they say I love you.
48:04Fight with me at home.
48:07I don't want to fight you at home.
48:09You do.
48:10You've been building an argument about the parking allocation since Tuesday.
48:14I can see it on your face.
48:17That is conferential spousal observation, and it's admissible.
48:21Senator, sorry, Ms. Winters, Mrs. Blackwood, whichever.
48:23Do you two want the room?
48:24Or at work, it's Ms. Winters?
48:27Privately, it's Mrs. Blackwood.
48:30You shut up.
48:32Yes, my love.
48:38He won the parking allocation, I won the relocation fund, the preservation clause, and the man.
48:44I called that a good day in court.
